How do I use the hotkeys and key combinations on my Aspire One?

The computer uses hotkeys or key combinations to access most of the computer's controls like screen brightness and volume output. To use a hotkey to perform a specific function, press and hold down the Fn key, press the system key with the desired image on it, and then release both keys. To cancel the function, repeat the sequence.
